MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) - Gridstore™, the leader in software-defined storage (SDS) optimized for Windows Server with Hyper-V, today announced the latest addition to its product portfolio, Gridstore Replicator powered by Double-Take from Vision Solutions. Gridstore's new offering provides best-in-class high availability and disaster recovery options for physical, virtual or cloud servers protecting the business by replicating data, applications and entire operating systems to a secondary location. If a production server or site is damaged or destroyed, users can automatically be switched to the secondary server with minimal to no disruption. The combination of Gridstore 3.0 and Gridstore Replicator powered by Double-Take enables continuous business operations as a key component of any DR plan.

"With the addition of Gridstore Replicator to our storage platform, we are expanding our support of industry leading third-party offerings and providing our partners and customers one of the most comprehensive disaster recovery solutions available in the market today," said Kelly Murphy, Founder and CTO, Gridstore. "The combination of storage built for the private cloud and near real-time replication per VM -- delivers simple and affordable disaster recovery that scales with your business needs."

Minimizes the impact on the primary servers while providing near-zero data loss on failover

Uses your existing hardware, software and network at DR site to optimize cost

Enables easy, full-server failover in minutes, not hours

Supports Hyper-V, Windows & VMware environments

Gridstore Replicator powered by Double-Take provides businesses of all sizes, and datacenters of all kinds, streamlined, full-scale disaster recovery protection at an affordable price. Highly efficient and hardware independent, it allows the use of existing infrastructure and because you can protect only the important applications, there is no need to scale the DR site at the same scale as the primary site.

Gridstore's revolutionary new software-defined storage solution, Gridstore 3.0, was purpose-built to address the architectural disconnect between traditional storage and virtualization. The product solves a critical issue -- the degraded performance of applications caused by traditional storage in virtual environments. Gridstore 3.0 accelerates applications running in Hyper-V by up to 500%, while offering an affordable pay-as-you-scale pricing structure.
